Woodfire Biryani is a Bhubaneswar‑based cloud kitchen and takeaway brand that has become popular for its signature biryanis cooked slowly over a traditional wood fire, starting with its original outlet on Vivekananda Marg at Nageswar Tangi in Old Town. The Old Town kitchen serves surrounding neighbourhoods such as BJB Nagar, Kalpana and the Old City temple belt, offering convenient home delivery for families and students who want restaurant‑quality biryani without dining out. With multiple branches now operating across the city, Woodfire Biryani positions the Old Town location as both a local favourite and a production hub for nearby orders.
The brand focuses on fragrant, smoky biryani where rice and meat are layered and finished on open wood fire for a distinct flavour and aroma. Menu highlights include Chicken Biryani, Mutton Biryani, Chicken Tangri Biryani and value combos, alongside supporting dishes such as Drums of Heaven, fish and prawn appetisers, Mughlai curries and Chinese sides aimed at complete home‑style meals. Social‑media reviews describe the biryani as well‑spiced with tender meat, limited excess oil and generous portions that can often serve more than one person per box. With typical spends between ₹200 and ₹400 per person through Swiggy, Zomato or direct orders, Woodfire Biryani appeals strongly to young professionals, hostel residents and families seeking flavourful, budget‑friendly biryani delivered hot to their doorstep.
